BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

By Joanna Brooks

…de, we sounded a note of caution here at RD about the “dark side” of honor code enforcement. After all, the honor code had been created during the 1960s in an effort by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to root out liberals, and honor code enforcement (including anonymous referrals) had been used to bait and harrass feminist, liberal, and gay students, shut down campus free speech, and compromise the privacy of pastoral counseling…

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…ips their script about “Muslim” vs. “American.” Of course, the majority of Arabs who immigrated to the United States in the Little Syria era were Christians, some trying to escape the Ottoman Empire’s new policy of mandatory conscription into the army for the sons. But public discourse since the Tea Party has sunk so low that many of those who objected to the Muslim community center actually known as Park 51 made no distinction between “Arab” and…

6 Reservations About U.S. Intervention in Libya

By Haroon Moghul

…o fight (diplomatically) to get Turkey onboard. While Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have loaned out fighter planes, they’re probably going to make, at best, a miniscule contribution; and neither are democracies that, theoretically, have to consult their people about their entanglements. And, while the Arab League has endorsed the Security Council resolution, let us not confuse the Arab League for a democratic body that speaks for the majority…

Neither Radical Nor Secular: The West Struggles with the New Islamism

By Blain Auer

…bility to create democracy, goes the conventional wisdom, an idea has been promoted that the Arabs need a strong ruler to lead. In the interest of “stability,” international aid was given in the form of guns, money, and diplomatic legitimacy to support authoritarian post-colonial regimes across the Middle East. A second misconception derives from the view that Islam is the sole driver of everything in the Middle East. From this perspective, class,…

Clueless in Gaza

By Shalom Goldman

…he West Bank and Gaza and the normalization of the political status of the Arab citizens of the Israel—and of the Arabs of the West Bank and Gaza. Thus we can see that in the understanding of many of its best minds Israel’s fixation on military force and the application of that force to the civilian populations of the West Bank and Gaza has turned Israel into a garrison state and an international pariah.

How to Prevent Ethnic Cleansing in Syria

By Sarah Posner

…Fund. “Today you can find closed communities of Radical Muslims across the United States promoting Radical Islamic ideology and living under localized versions of Shari’ah.” This view that shari’ah is a threat to the constitution, to capitalism, and to American liberty helps explain the rash of attempts to “ban” shari’ah in the states. Rep. Gerald Gay, the Wyoming legislator sponsoring a shari’ah law ban there, said, “I don’t want our laws having…

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

By Joanna Brooks

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse. (When I was a BYU student, it was possible to make an anonymous third-party referral.) Honor Code enforcement on campus has been used to bait and target gays and libe…
